Prologue 1 through the eyes of Henry
Henry's POV
I wake up in a cramped area I feel hair, skin, and fabric above me but wood below me, I feel squished, and then I hear a cheerful but confused voice above me say, "Didn't I just die?"
I then hear a monotoned voice speaking coming from below, "So you're here as well... Abyss Sarah huh."
I then say, "Looks like the whole family is here. Squishing...me!"
I hear Abyss Sarah and Hank say, "Oops."
I hear another voice but outside, "I better hurry up and find that uniform before someone spots me...Urgggh... This lid weighs a ton!"
I say confused, "Wait is that Grim from Twisted Wonderland?" if it is that means we are in Twisted Wonderland so I'm exited.
Grim says, "Try this on for size! Mya-ha!" Blue fire burns the container and the door opens and we all found out. I fall to the ground, Abyss Sarah, and Hank on top of me.
I see a room with floating coffins everywhere and a fancy chandelier above a floating mirror under the mirror had a mini fountain with green water coming from it. I also noticed my siblings and I are wearing black, purple, and gold robes like the game. I see a cat like creature grey fur blue eyes and blue fire in it's ears, white patch of fur on the chest, and a pitch fork tail. Apparently Grim didn't like us ignoring him because he then said, "Wait isn't there supposed to be one person per coffin? " The cat shakes their head but sees we are ignoring it and paying attention to the area. "Oh-ho! You got a lotta nerve ignoring me, human! The name's Grim. Believe me, you won't forget it! Now one of you five gimme your uniform, and be quick about it! 'Cause if you don't...you're gonna regret it!"
I look with stars in my eyes I love cats and I hear Abyss Sarah say, "Oh crud." Then my siblings including me get up, Abyss Sarah picks me up because of how unfit I am, and start running.
The Grim gets mad, "Hey, come on! I'm on a tight schedule here!" We run away and end up in a room with some pictures, a chair, and floating books. We are in a magic library.
I'm shaking in joy and say with a smirk, "We're in Twisted Wonderland!"
Abyss Sarah, and Hank look at me confused and say, "Wut."
Grim then walks into the area, "Foolish humans! Did you really think you could slip away from ME? Now, unless you wanna get burned to a crisp, take off that—" A whip wraps around Grim. "Me-YEOW! That hurt! What gives?"
I then shake my head annoyed and whisper, "Looks like the horrid principal named Crowley has appeared."
Crowley then talks, "Consider it tough love. Ah, I've found you at last. Splendid. I trust you're one of this year's new students? My, were you ever eager to make your debut. And bringing a poorly trained familiar with you? That is a clear violation of the school's rules."
Grim then says, "As if I'd serve some lowly humans! Now lemme go!"
Crowley then says ignoring Grim, "Yes, yes. Rebellious familiars always say that. Do be quiet for a bit, won't you?"
Grim then tries to talk, "Mmmrph!"
Crowley then says, "Isn't there only supposed to be one student? *Ahem* Dear me. Of all the students I've dealt with, you three are the first with temerity enough to open their own gate and step out of it. Does the very notion of patience elude you? No matter. Your orientation has already begun. Let us return to the Mirror Chamber."
I chuckle, "This is going to be a disaster, but at least it's going to be funny."
Hank tilts his head, "...What?"
Abyss Sarah looks at Crowley asking, "You're nothing more than a kidnapper aren't you?"
Crowley looks at me shocked, "What I didn't kidnapped you! You three awakened in a room full of gates, did you not? All of the students here at the campus arrived by passing through such gates. You all came of your own freewill otherwise you wouldn't be here. Although typically the students have restraint enough to wait until I open them before waking up." As much as my siblings don't trust this guy this is just a incompetent asshole.
Hank straightens his head, "That thing...." Hank points at Grim, "...blew the lid off of our coffin."
Crowley then proudly, says, "That thing appears to be that familiar of one of you. One of you are the one who insisted on bringing it, so curtailing its behavior is one of your responsibility!"
Abyss Sarah then tries to say, "Um..but that isn't-"
Crowley interrupted Abyss Sarah, "But now is not the time for such prattle. You've a student orientation to attend! Go on, now. Make haste."
Abyss Sarah then asks, "Can you tell us about this school."
Crowley then looks at us in confusion, "Hm? Have you not fully regained consciousness? The timespace teleportation must have addled your memories...Well, these things happen, I suppose. I shall explain it to you while we walk. Truly, my magnanimity is boundless. *Ahem* This is Night Raven College. It is an institution for students the world over who demonstrate a rare aptitude for magic. It is the most prestigious academy of its sort in all of Twisted Wonderland. And I am Dire Crowley. Having been entrusted with its care by the chairman, I serve as headmage." My siblings and I look at Crowley with a blank face. "Only those who the Dark Mirror perceives as having a talent for magic are admitted to the college. Those who are selected are summoned to the campus through those 'gates,' which can appear anywhere. A black carriage bearing one such gate should have come to meet you."
Hank then said, "We never saw...the carriage instead we....-"
Crowley then says interrupted me, "What?! You never saw the carriage?!*Ahem* The black carriage serves to receive a student chosen by the Dark Mirror. At least it's supposed to. It too bears a gate that connects to this campus. And as you know, sending a carriage to meet someone on a special day is a time-honored tradition."
Abyss Sarah and Hank look at me and I explain, "It's how it works just ignore it."
Grim struggles, "Mmfff! Mmmmmmfff!"
Crowley then says, "Now, let us attend to your orientation."
